Kalaya
is
by
far
one
of
the
best
Thai
restaurants
I've
had
in
recent
years
that
I
just
can't
seem
to
stop
thinking
about.
This
restaurant
opened
just
a
few
months
ago,
and
it
is
already
selling
out,
fortunately,
the
owners
said
the
same
food
is
served
lunch
and
dinner.
My
only
caveat
for
this
place
is
that
due
to
its
notoriety,
it
is
very
well-
attended
and
thus
can
be
very
loud
and
cramped.
The
staff
does
a
great
job
in
communicating
with
you
throughout
your
entire
experience
and
the
main
chef
even
came
out
multiple
times
just
to
say
hi
and
mingle,
adding
to
the
wonderful
experience.
In
terms
of
must
gets,
you
have
to
get
the
fish
dish,
it
is
an
entire
fish
(head,
eyes
and
all)
and
is
fantastic.
It's
spicy,
flavorful,
fresh,
and
burns
in
all
of
the
good
ways.
We
tried
almost
one
of
everything
and
truth
be
told,
they
should
all
be
experimented
with
as
each
dish
offers
a
different
perspective
from
the
chef's
childhood
and
culinary
experience.
Of
the
other
dishes,
the
cabbage
is
such
a
wonderful,
simple
dish
that
was
just
done
perfectly,
with
the
innate
sweetness
of
the
vegetable
that
was
accentuated
with
the
oil
and
spices.
The
eggplant,
papaya
and
shrimp
salad
were
spicy,
but
a
bit
too
salty
for
my
taste.
The
fried
chicken
wings
was
decent,
but
dry
and
tough.
The
chicken
dish
was
nice
but
not
really
memorable.
As
for
the
dessert,
I
really
liked
custardy
dessert,
but
felt
the
mango
sticky
rice
to
be
just
a
little
bit
too
tough
and
sweet.
However,
that
is
a
personal
opinion,
not
shared
by
the
rest
of
the
diners.
